Very nice CLD Karl!  I’m wish I had the time to explore these liquidity problems. One thing I wonder is if there is any chance such liquidity problems could escalate to the point that households would be unable to pay bills or make purchases using their own funds in their bank or brokerage accounts?

I think a focus on the dynamics of the virus alone ignores important effects on the economy that people need to understand. Here is a CLD of a high level view that is simple enough to show in a glance some of the important feedbacks that can explain the economic effects that people are likely to see and experience. Hopefully it will stimulate others to improve on it.

Dear K-12 SD enthusiasts,

 

As the COVID19 unfolds, with formal schooling disrupted in many places throughout the country, I have been thinking about how to help our students understand what is going on as to help them deal with the fear and panic that is all to rampant at this point.  Many of us  are trying to figure out on-line lessons with meaning and purpose.  I would love to hear from others about the resources they are looking at and what they are thinking about and doing with their students.   

 

Here are a few that I have found or have had sent to me:

 

1. An overall SD approach and good summary, written by Tim Clancy a WPI graduate student in SD.

2. A simulation on Forio created by Jereon Struben

3. A model created by Tom Fiddaman for Bozeman (his hometown) that would be modifiable for other hometowns:

4. A good graphical lesson in exponential growth without a model.

 

5. Basic data about the Virus:

 6. In the spirit that we are all now playing a supply chain game similar to the Beer Game, here is a link on the CLE website that links to the Soda game, created for kids from the Beer Game.  The models are in a very outdated version of STELLA, but the lesson can give you the gist.

7. Lastly, here is a simulation for the Infection Game from the Shape of Change  for younger students:

 

 

I would love to hear what others have found and what you are doing!

 

Take care,

Lees
